History

AirSprint was founded in 2000 by Judson Macor as Canada's first fractional aircraft ownership company. [9]

In 2017, AirSprint was the fastest growing fractional aviation company globally. ARGUS International listed AirSprint as the No. 6 fractional ownership company on the continent, thanks in part to a 23.5 percent jump in its total flight hours over the previous year. [10]

In 2025, AirSprint celebrated its 25th anniversary of operations. [11]
